Titration and monitoring — not a refill mill
We measure what the drug can harm: sodium, TSH, lipids, A1c, weight, AIMS, pregnancy — class by class.
Medication Management for Aventura patients
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Aventura presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Check labs due for the current class.
How Medication Management is structured
Review PDMP and allergies.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Check labs due for the current class.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Is your practice discreet for Aventura patients?
Absolutely. We maintain strict HIPAA compliance, and our telehealth option ensures complete privacy. Many Aventura patients prefer virtual appointments from their residence or office.
Do you address image-related anxiety and mood disorders?
Yes. We treat the full spectrum of anxiety and mood disorders, including those related to social pressure, perfectionism, and performance expectations common in high-achieving communities.
Access from Aventura
{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for Aventura is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Aventura sits in Miami-Dade County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Aventura include The Waterways, Williams Island, and the Biscayne Boulevard corridor. ZIP codes 33160, 33180 map to this service-area page.
Trazodone plus an opioid plus a benzodiazepine was never reconciled.
What we rule in — and rule out
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
antidepressant management still has to map to a problem on the list.
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
